四分律行事鈔資持記 2.551

2.551

釋中。論明謗者強戾，僧折伏法。初教僧詳緩。若下，出彼請判。論具云：若言眾僧為我判此罪莫停；若是者，我當受持；若不是，我不受。（受即執也，此是兩向求斷之語。）僧下，示折伏法有三，初教遷延。暝即暗也。猶下，次令出界。如是覓寺下，後明為斷。懦，柔弱也。

Under the explanation: the treatise explains that when the slanderer is stubborn and perverse, the saṃgha has a method to subdue him. First, it instructs the saṃgha to deliberate slowly. From "If..." downward presents his request for a judgment. The treatise says in full: "If he says: 'Let the saṃgha judge this offense for me without delay; if it is so, I shall uphold it; if it is not so, I shall not accept it.'" (Accept means hold fast; this is speech seeking judgment from both alternatives.) From "The saṃgha..." downward shows three methods to subdue him. First, instructing them to delay. "Míng" means dark. From "Still..." downward next orders him to leave the boundary. From "Thus seeking a monastery..." downward finally explains deciding it for him. "Nuò" means soft and weak.
